How Men Drink Farms.

The Plowman, In characteristic way
tells how men "drink farms"
My homeless friend with the chromat-
ic nose, while you are stirring up the
sugar in that ten-cent glass of gin, let
me give you fact to wash it down with.
You say you have years longed for the
free, Independent life Of the farmer, but
have never been able to get enough
money together to buy farm. But that
is just where you are mistaken. For
several years you have been drinking
good improved farm at the rate of one
hundred square feet at gulp. II you
doubt this statement, figure it out your
self. An acre Of land contains forty
three thousand five hundred and sixty
square feet. Estimating, for convenience
sake lands at s43.a0 per acre, you will
see that brings the land to just one mill
per square foot, one cent for ten square
feet. Now pour the fiery dose, and i'm
agine you are swallowing strawberry
patch. Call in five of your friends and
have them help you gulp down that five
hundred foot garden. Get on pro-
longed spree some day, and see how
long tlme It requires to swallow pas
ture large enough to feed COW, Put
down that glass Of gini there's dirt in it
-one hundred square feet of good, rich
dirt, worth s43. 80 per acre.

A TarautuIa Duel.

A dispatch from Toledo, o., says:
particulars OF strange duel have just
leaked out here through the arrival
from Mexico of w. G. MARITIME, a veal
thy coffee merchant. He says the par
tlcipants in the duel were Senior vlcto-
ria, mining speculator, aud Senior
Pedraza, an extensive shIp-owner. IL
took place at Tampico, Mexico, and be
gives the following account OF the affair,
his Information coming through letters
from A. A. Terrence, coffee buyer at
Tampico: Senior Victoria and Senior
Pedraa a few weeks ago met at q bali
given at Tampico by one OF the chief
ladies OF the Spanish society. The gen.
tlemen, while heated with wine, quar-
relied In the presence Of the lady, whom
both admired. Senior Victoria challenged
Senor Pedraza, who accepted the chai-
lenge, aud stipulated that the duel must
take place In dark room. As Psdraza
had the choice of weapons he demanded
that Victoria meet him In room where
should be placed hundred tarantulss
Of the most poisonous kind, and that
each should devote his energies TO kill
Ing the tarantulas instead Of nghtiAe
his opponent, and neither must leave
the room until all the poisonous spiders
were killed,
"Pedrapa, 1t Is thought, expected that
Victoria would meyer accept the weap-
ons, but Victoria did not back down.

were broken open both men were found
ON the door dead, surrounded by the
horrible spiders, some dead and some
still alive. In spite OF the efforts Of

now; goodbye" During my trance
they had cut me and carved me, sown
me up and bandaged me without my
even knowing that L had been touched,
but could hardly feel grateful to the
anasthetic, for the nausea i: produced
was so intense. My mouth, throat and
lungs felt coated with ether and dried
u ilh smoke, and | could well imagine
what the mouth of photographers boy
would be like after a prolonged de-
bauch on paper cigars soaked in col
lodion. Still the ether had saved me
from much suffering, and, what was of
more importance, had prevented the
skill of the operator being baked by
any finching. Everything had been
done swiftly, skillfully, and with no
fear of the patient wincing or moving.
The knife is sure and sharp nowadays
and does not bungle. e.-PaH Mall Gazette.

A Milestone.

AS the first big pattering drops that fall
With a splash on the lattice pane,
Make us shiver and start and as they warn US
all
or storm, or of coming rain.
SO it is with life, when we are rowing DID,
And age steals unaware,
We shiver and start If the truth were told,
At the sight ofour first gray hair.
We mark not the light of our MONDAY hours,
Like the first streaks the dawn doth bring; {;
We hail not the birth of our summer flowers
AS we do the first snowdrops OF spring;
On the bleak winter wind we look with grief
Though it howls through the branches bare,
But we sigh when we witness the brown au-
tumn leaf,
And behold natures first gray hair.
Gray hairs may come when the beaming eye
Has none of It's brightness lost,
When with buoyant heart we would fain
deny
Youths Rubicon has been crossed;
Yet the ivy-clad trees look young and green,
Though The sapIess trunks may be there,
And naught Of decay on our cheeks may be
seen
When we witness our first gray hair.
Come early, come late, like q knock at the
gate,
Is that first soft silvery thread;
And it joins with It's silence the years that
await
With the years forever fled;
1t silently tells us we're journeying on
II silently questions-where?
Oh, faithful milestone, were the truth but
known,
AS seen in our first gray hair.
